Week 1 MTC

Mom I wish you could see me at the MTC! I am enjoying life so much! I have never felt closer to the spirit in my life! I have learned that I have to put my trust in the Lord all the time and I will have the spirit to teach! My roommates and companion are like my best friends! I know I want to go to a church school! It's literally like spiritual college. My district is like my family.  I have had such spiritual experiences and I just work as hard as I can. I'm so organized and I have never been more focused. I write in my journal. I use my planner everyday so I know what I'm doing. I thought I lost my camera but grandma had it. We have so much food and candy in our dorm its crazy. Anyway mom I love you so much! I think about you every single day! I think about our family a lot. but I'm so caught up in the work I have been blessed that I haven't experienced home-sickness! All my roommates and other missionaries are having a tough time but I have been there to comfort them. my companion is hilarious and I just love him so much! He is not an athlete but he does drama and acting that's why he is so funny.  Elder lytle. The guy we saw on facebook!! hahaha! He is awesome! I miss you! I love you I wish you could be here with me! I'm glad Avery's surgery was okay and all that jazz. I saw Rio Brown and that was awesome and I forget who he is the son of tell me how we are related. I don't remember him! I gotta go mom I Love you so much! tell my sisters I Love them.

Dad, I'm having an awesome time at the MTC! On the fist day we got to sing Called to Serve and the spirit was so strong. We also sang We are as the Armies of Helaman and the spirit was so strong then! I have a really good district! we are like a family and my companion is hilarious he recites every single line from every movie ever written and he can do a Scottish upper class British man and indian and Australian accent and he always has me and the rest of my roommates laughing. My roommates are awesome.   I have really seen my testimony grow tremendously in my first TRC investigator which is an actual real church investigator me and my companion taught this guy and we just killed it and at the end I bore my testimony and I have never felt the spirit so strong while talking one on one with this investigator! I love this man so much and he really wants us to come back and be taught more. My other investigators have been really good building experiences but I know that I have a lot of growing to do! I'm so organized and my planning and I'm working everyday as hard as I can I have learned to rely on the Lord with everything. I know he is there. I found Rio Brown and i forget who he is the son of but we have each others emails. I look more native American than him hahaha. Dad I miss home so much but I'm so caught up in the work I don't have any home sickness. My companion and roommates all are having a hard time with it but I know the Lord has blessed me to focus. It is still hard and every day is a grind but I love the people and that's the best way to teach. I have learned to listen to the spirit it is awesome. Dad I love you so much and I wish you could see me here so you could be proud of all the things I'm doing but I know you are and I hope you and mom are doing okay! don't worry about me I am doing great.  I love it! Love you Dad!!
